NLC President Joe Ajaero Summoned by Police Over Terrorism Financing Allegations

In a shocking turn of events, Joe Ajaero, the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has been summoned by the police. The reason? Allegations of terrorism financing and other serious charges.

NLC spokesperson Benson Upah broke the news in a recent statement. According to Upah, Ajaero received an invitation from the police for questioning. The invite, dated August 19, 2024, came from ACP Adamu Mu’azu, representing the Commissioner of Police Intelligence.

The charges are heavy: criminal conspiracy, terrorism financing, felony, subversion, and cybercrime. Police claim Ajaero’s name came up during ongoing investigations into these matters.

Upah raised eyebrows at the timing and nature of the invitation. It arrived after office hours and didn’t use Ajaero’s official title. This, Upah suggests, might be linked to a recent raid on NLC headquarters.

The NLC has been busy lately:

  • They’ve urged the government to talk with protest organizers
  • They’ve criticized how police handled a recent protest
  • They’ve demanded apologies from both police and government after the raid

The labor group isn’t taking this lying down. They’ve accused the government of declaring war on them. They’ve also rejected the police’s claim that the raid was to catch an international terrorist.
